1. Great Falls Central is solid up front on both sides of the ball, creating lanes on offense for the runners and plugging them on defense, led by center-defensive tackle Tyler Stevens and Trevor Yuhas, who proves to be quite tough to block at 6-foot-2, 260 pounds.

2. While it leaned heavy on the run on Saturday dealing with a strong wind, the Mustangs don’t appear to be one dimensional, picking up good chunks in the passing game when they needed it from quarterback Noah Ambuehl and his receivers.

3. Simms had a good shot to carry some momentum into the half with a 58-yard drive that ended at the two-yard line, with Matt Lewis, Jacob Runstrom and Riley Annis, the Tigers’ leading rusher on the day, ripping off solid runs to put them in scoring position, but Central stuffed Annis at the two as the clock ran out in the half.

4. There were two offsetting personal foul penalties assessed in the game but other than that, the coaches, players and referees did a nice job of keeping the game civil, as some one-sided affairs can get out of hand.

5. Central head coach Mike Nelson will obviously take the points, but said he would like to see some more sustained drives from his offense moving forward, as basically all of the Mustangs scores came on or were set up by big plays.
